Nice stuff everyone!

Good 2018 for all!

I'll go with these. ASM #14 is definitely the biggest key from 2018 that I purchased. #238 news stand was purchased raw. Very happy to see it got the 9.8. #800 Ditko remastered. It's Ditko. Looking for more top 10 ASM keys this year.

I usually don't buy "expensive" books, but said what the heck when the price seemed right.

Seen it a few times over in Golden Age.

The first one is from Blue Bolt 105.

The Weird Horrors 7 cover was a fine art painting bought from an art fair and used as a comic cover. Ekgren never worked directly for a comic publisher, which explains why it looks like nothing else. There are two others as well.

Some  interesting blog articles about the ekgren cover and 2 other ekgren paintings used for comics.
